Summarization involves creating a smaller summary of multiple longer documents. This can be useful for distilling long documents into the core pieces of information.
The recommended way to get started using a summarization chain is:
from langchain.chains.summarize import load_summarize_chain
chain = load_summarize_chain(llm, chain_type="map_reduce")
chain.run(docs)The following resources exist:
